NVIDIA Fully Using Open-Source GPU Kernel Modules in Upcoming Driver Release!

Hi there guys :)

Great news from NVIDIA, I just found this online and wanted to share it with everyone who might be interested. NVIDIA will be publishing their GPU kernel modules as fully open-source starting with the next R560 driver release.

So there is hope for a better gaming experience on Linux after all. 🙏

Here's the link to their blog post if you want to learn more about it:

I love how much negativity can arise because of a simple post from which I thought people might appreciate the information shared with them. We love the internet.

I'm not an expert on this, but how is this going to be better?

Yeah, "fully open source". Meaning it will always work, half-assed.
